So the ole heeps check enginge light is on, been on like 2-3weeks, but it runs slick as a button. I got tired of seeing it so I swung by my uncles to pick up his Computer to scan it, but the "scanner port thingamabob" isn't getting power. What do I do? Im at a lose on this one.
Also what is the correct terminology for it?

Try and get autozone to read it?
He has a mac code reader( lack of knowledge I aint sure what its really called). It plugs into the Jeep but the plug gives no power..? The socket under the dash that you plug into should give power to turn on the computer so it can pull the codes. Thats how its worked on all our other vehichles.

So I got my trans pan from the parts jeep. I still want to get the damn tube disconnected. Or at least try.
I can turn it no problem. When I do turn it, it sounds like there's rubber in there. It doesn't sound like metal on metal contact. Is there an o-ring in there?
If not I'm thinking maybe the PO put some RTV in there. He used it on the damn trans pan. Not even the high temp stuff. I had fun getting that **** off.

Dipstick tube.
Those bastards.
I'm gonna burn the damn thing out. Reasemble with grease and new (hopefully better fitting) o-ring.
Thinking about it, when I did my 91s trans filter, it came apart, and it didn't have an o-ring in it, went back together. Never leaked.

Pretty much. The one on my 91 just fell out. I tried to get it out didn't budge. Got up, went and got water. I heard a metal on cement sound and seen the pan laying there, lol.
The one from my parts jeep, not so much.
I sprayed PB in it and left it hanging, I'm hoping history will repeat itself.
